Night World Volume 2

This volume includes: Dark Angel, The Chosen, and Soulmate. I read the first two volumes over Thanksgiving break and picked them out for the long car ride upstate :) The three stories in this volume continue on with individuals from the night World and the human world finding their soulmates and working towards the future for all. It was hinted from the last book that Circle Daybreak, a witch organization that works to bring together the inhabitants of the Night World and the human world, attempts to end the fighting and hatred between the two has resurfaced. Many Daybreakers feel that the fact that countless, and in some cases, very important, members of the Night World have found human soulmates means that a new era is approaching and that the opportunity for the two worlds to coexist peacefully is within reach. Dark Angel tells of the near death experience of Gillian Lennox, a witch of the second kind, meaning that she is oblivious to her ancestry. Gillian copes with this and her new found powers with the help of her "guardian angel." Angel starts out as a helpful and encouraging presence, but things take a turn for the worst when Gillian finds out that Angel wants to kill her soulmate and possess his body so that he could live on earth. The Chosen gives the story of a young vampire hunter, Rashel, who kills any and all vampires in a obsession to avenge to her mother's death and her friend Timmy's disappearance at the hand of a red-haired vampire. Ironically, Rashel's soulmate is one of the very creatures she seeks to destroy. Finally, in Soulamte, a girl learns, from mysterious notes left by her subconcious mind, that she is an Old Soul, a human who keeps coming back from the void, ever since the dawn of civilization. Hannah begins to remember her days in past years, and the one with whom she was always destined to spend them with, Thiery, the first made vampire, Lord of the Night World, and leader of Circle Daybreak. Mysteriously enough, Hannah never lives to see the dawn of her seventeenth birthday and her numerous deaths that span over the centuries are unclear. She is told by a stranger that it is her soulmate who has repeatedly killed her, but when old memories start to rise within her she realizes that she has been kept from lifetimes of happiness with Thierry due to a love triangle that dates back to the creation of the Night World Council.
